Originally, I was puzzled by the fact that I wasn't able to kill the monster even after shooting at it from such a short distance away. However, I didn't expect to see such a horrifying scene after the large board smashed into a part of the monster's ribs!
The dog sized body of the monster lay there quietly. After the large board broke open the ribs, the skeleton of a baby appeared!
The corpse's body structure was exactly the same as a human's, except that aside from the stomach, it was completely shriveled up like a dried up tree root. Even so, those shriveled up limbs still managed to fit into the bones of the monster's four limbs. It was as if its two bodies had already merged into one!
Although we were all in shock and disgust, Bighead still refused to give up. He cut open the monster's neck with his knife and presented the infant's corpse in front of us!
However, just as the chopping board was about to continue, the infant that had merged with the monster's body suddenly came to life. With a loud scream, it pounced towards the chopping board!
At this critical moment, a steel knife pierced through the infant's head and nailed its head onto the ground!
Even though his head was nailed to the ground, the infant did not seem to be dead yet. It was still struggling on the ground. A pair of green eyes that caused people to be terrified were staring at the board without giving up! It was as if he wished he could skin the board alive!
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. As for Dazhou, he had already fallen to the ground with a deathly pale face. Even Hua Cai, who had seen many supernatural incidents, had a horrified expression as he watched the scene in front of him!
"This is the blood baby of the Western Xia. From the looks of it, the road ahead of us is not as flat as we thought."
After she finished speaking, Dong Wan'er dug her steel knife deeper into the ground. She then called over Xu Man to dispose of the headless bat's corpse.
By the time Xu Man returned, the corpse of the infant that was nailed to the ground had already lost all signs of life.
However, when Dazhi wanted to get closer and study her, Dong Wan'er said to him, "If you want to be possessed by this thing, you should get closer!"
As soon as Dong Wan'er finished her sentence, the corpse of the strange infant that had lost its life suddenly opened its eyes again. It spat out a green liquid towards the large board!
When the liquid fell onto the ground, one could clearly see green smoke rapidly rising from the ground. A burnt smell permeated the air and a deep pit was formed where the liquid landed!
Fortunately, the juice was not spilled onto his body due to his agility. Otherwise, even if he was made of bronze or iron, he wouldn't have been able to escape death!
Seeing this scene, no matter how bold Bian Po was, he didn't dare to take even half a step closer to the blood baby. Seeing that the big board was finally honest, Dong Wan'er then started to slowly talk about the West Xia Blood Infant.
According to her, the Western Xia Blood Infant was a very vicious and evil technique. It was specially made from babies that were either prisoners of death or prisoners of war that had yet to reach the full age of their lifespan. Furthermore, the refining process was extremely cruel!
Any baby born to a prisoner of death or a prisoner of war would be forcibly snatched away before 100 days were up, then their hands and feet would be broken off and they would be fed poisonous insects.
The life force of a baby was so strong that even if its bones were broken, it would quickly recover. With the addition of the poisonous insects' medicinal effects, its broken limbs would completely recover within a few days. However, after the bones of the baby's limbs had recovered, they would once again experience the pain they had before!
Repeat this process again and again until the baby's life force is completely exhausted, and then grab the baby's mother and cut open the abdomen to insert the dead baby back into the woman's womb!
Perhaps it was due to the presence of its mother, or perhaps it was due to the medicinal effects of the poisonous insects. Perhaps it was due to the presence of its mother, or perhaps it was due to the medicinal effects of the poisonous insects, that the infant's corpse would quickly absorb its mother's blood.
By the time the woman had dried up into a mummy and had her abdomen cut open, the dead baby would be as we see it now. It would never rot if it wasn't afraid of fire and water! Furthermore, he was treated as the best gravekeeper by the Western Xia Royal Family!
However, this blood baby had a weakness: it could not differentiate between living beings.
As long as there were living creatures within a certain range, they would wake up and immediately release a strange smell, which was used to attract living creatures to their vicinity.
When the living creatures came closer, they would spray a corrosive liquid at the target, severely injuring the prey, and then use the digestive juices to digest the head of the prey. As for themselves, they would drill their bodies into their prey's body, invade their prey's bones and spine, and completely snatch their prey's body to revive!
Unless the head of the blood baby is cut off and exposed to the scorching sun, the blood baby will find its next prey before the body of the previous victim has completely deteriorated. In other words, he would never die!
After listening to Dong Wan'er's explanation, the hairs all over my body stood on end. On the other hand, Big Board was looking at Dong Wan'er with a sullen expression.
Seeing his wronged expression, Dong Wan'er smiled and said, "Don't worry. After the blood infant seizes a prey's body, it will follow its instincts. In other words, it has become the prey from before. "So you don't have to worry about your wounds, you just need to get some rabid dog vaccines when you go back."
"What do you mean go back and get some canine vaccines!" Right after entering the forest, we encountered something like this, and it was even created using an ancient demonic technique! If we go any further, who knows what will happen to us! "
After saying that, I entered the tent and started to pack my bags. As I was leaving, Bian Tzu and Hua Tzu also entered their own tents.
I really don't want to stay here any longer! Now that the body of the large bat was being invaded by the blood baby, he did not know what kind of animal would appear after the blood baby's invasion. If the body of a tiger that was taken over by a blood baby appears, then wouldn't we all die here?!
Seeing that I started packing up, Xu Man immediately started to get anxious, while Dong Wan'er leisurely walked to my side. "You're already starting to retreat?" You're too useless! "
Although her words weren't pleasant to hear, I didn't care about it all. "Whatever you say, I won't stay here for a moment longer!" If you have no future, then it's better than having no life! "
Initially, I thought that she would continue to urge me to stay. Unexpectedly, she turned around and prepared to leave. However, a few words she said before leaving left me with no choice but to stay behind.
